Minister Farrakhan challenges educators at 3-day conference in Chicago

“If a curriculum does not prepare a student for life itself, then it is a worthless curriculum,” said Minister Farrakhan during his August 6 keynote address wrapping up the Nation of Islam's 4th Annual Educational Conference themed: “Developing A Nation of Readers.”

“The first words that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, heard in the cave at Mount Hira was the word iqra (“read”). A command was given to a man who could not read, but yet he was commanded by Allah through the angel Gabriel, read. That word—read—that command is the command of God to all of us who languish in the bowels of ignorance where our greatness can never be manifested until and unless we learn not only how to read, but what to read, and why reading is required,” said Min. Farrakhan.
